It was an hour past noon when the Ghostly Man finally returned.
STEP STEP STEP
Han Yu, now well accustomed to the man's eerie presence, immediately picked up on his approach. He barely even flinched anymore.
"Oh? Empty-handed this time?" Han Yu remarked, eyeing the man suspiciously.
"I just went for a walk," the Ghostly Man said nonchalantly as he sat down. "Cook." He ordered with the authority of a general commanding an army.
"The dried meat is already done," Han Yu replied, unimpressed. "Just eat that."
"It's not as flavorful." The man scoffed, as if Han Yu had just asked him to eat dirt.
"Fine... but there isn't anything else to cook," Han Yu said, folding his arms. "I could make some stew from the meat, but we don't have a pot."
"Go fetch one." The man waved him off as if Han Yu could just pluck a cooking pot from the nearest tree.
"That would take me over two hours!" Han Yu retorted, staring incredulously at the man's complete lack of regard for logic.
"Fine..." The man sighed as if Han Yu was the unreasonable one. Then, without a word, he picked up one of the many rocks lying around.
